Stimulated by its relationship to the ubiquitous triphenylphosphine ligand (1), 1 we have prepared2 and begun to explore the coordination chemistry of the diphenylphosphidoboratabenzene anion (DPB; 2). DPB may be viewed as a negatively charged, essentially isosteric, variant of PPh3; within this context, comparative studies of PPh3 and DPB complexes, both for a given metal and for metals which are adjacent in the periodic table, could lead to useful new insights into reactivity. 3 In this communication, we report the first stage of our investigation into the chemistry of DPB, specifically, synthetic and structural work which establishes the viability of DPB as a ligand for an array of transition metals.A wide range of DPB adducts can be generated through treatment of transition metal halides with potassium diphenylphosphidoboratabenzene (K-DPB). For example, reaction of Cp2ZrHCl with K-DPB in the presence of PMe3 leads to displacement of the chloride ligand and formation of Cp2ZrH-(DPB)(PMe3)(3; eq 1). A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of this complex (Figure 1a; Table 1a) 4 reveals a structure very similar to that found for Cp2ZrH (SiPh3)(PMe3). 5 The PC bonds of the DPB ligand are∼ 0.12 Å shorter than the PB bond, and the ligand adopts a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry.
